"I am honored to participate in this important endeavor of Christian secondary education as a religion instructor at Cornerstone Lutheran High School. Passing the torch of God's Word in its truth and purity to the next generation has never been more important. May the Holy Spirit bless our labors for the sake of Jesus Christ, our only Lord and Savior."
